The reason I don't go with those arguements is that they don't work, people just don't care about the loopholes and theories. Once again, Russel's Teapot, despite these arguements that Atheists throw out, it isn't actually our job to disprove God, it is the job of theists to prove it, and such is why I don't enjoy loophole arguing. I don't think it leads anywhere, because we cannot obviously 100% disprove the existance of a deity. |
One at a time, please. That's quite a lot, for an answer to a single question.
Does disproving God's existence result in anything? Yes. It proves that you're right, and I'm wrong. And that others are wrong, even if they'd rather not admit it. If they'd rather not, then they're not being honest with themselves, so why bother? At least we'll find out what's true, or at least what's likely to be true. And isn't "seeing the light" a good thing, as opposed to staying in the dark because it's more comfortable that way? I believe so.
Which would you like us to discuss first: omnipotence, or proof of God's existence + Russell's Teapot?. Though I'm warning you, discussing omnipotence would be pointless if we don't see first if it's
possible that God exists. One at a time, please... Comprende?
